Symbol Editor

Symbols are needed to simplify the process of drawing the schematic. They contain a variety of information such as graphical elements, connecting points, symbol group assignment, logic, etc. The relationship between a symbol and a function can look like this:

The symbol libraries are used to manage the symbols. A symbol library can contain an unlimited number of symbols. When editing a symbol only the changed symbol is opened and saved, not the entire library. This minimizes the problems that could arise when multiple users are working in one library simultaneously.

When working with the symbol editor you will need to pay attention to a number of special differences between it and the graphical editor:

Several symbol properties can be preset via the project settings (Options > Settings > Projects). To use these when creating symbols as well, the symbol editor must be able to access them. For this reason, master data such as symbols can only be edited when a project is open.
